In my last post I shared some pictures of Reece and Myah. Their senior prom and their graduation. They are such great kids, beautiful people, and I am very proud of them both.

So I thought I would share with you the graduation cards I made them, and a bunch of 3x3 cards I made to use for whatever I need them for.

First here are the cards I made for the kids. This first one was for Myah.

This one was for Reece. Their school colors are Red (maroon) and silver. It doesn't show up but the hat is almost the perfect red and the tassel is silver.

On the left side of the inside of the cards I put a pocket to give me a place to include checks for them . For some reason these were really hard for me to make. Not that the cards were hard because they were not, I don't do hard as you all know. But they were hard for me . I think it was because it brought us to a new era. My first grandchild is now grownup! Well sorta of:)) But he has maneuvered himself through his first really big challenge of life.

I can't tell you how much I love this kid!! He is just so special. He has the sweetest heart, and he has always been so good. His little sister just turned 13 and she will give us fits I'm afraid, but Reece has been a joy since he was born. Not ever one minute of worry. That's rare for a parent to say about a child. Can you tell I love Reece? Anyone who has ever met him loves him. He's just one of those really good people, and Myah is just as good! I am so happy the two of them are together, they truly compliment each other.

OK well here are the 3x3 cards. These I made to have for those times when you need a little card. The little areas on the left are there to stamp thank you, or thinking of you, Hi, or anything really. Very simple cards, the envelopes were harder to do than the cards.

I hope you all have a wonderfully warm and fun week-end. Oh yeah!! Thank you all for your visits to my house (blog). I love your visits! I adore you all!!!

I am so proud of my oldest grandson. He is a very special kid. His heart is as big as a mountain, he is so caring and loving, for a 18 year old boy. Most kids his age are a bit rough around the edges if you know what I mean. Reece is not like that, he's just so darn sweet. Yet he is real wise. He is very careful as to who he hangs around. His girlfriend is a doll too. She is a christian as he is, so they have a very "right" relationship. I kinda believe the two of them just may be together forever! They truly love each other.

They were crowned the King and Queen of their senior prom!! They are both so beautiful!. Here's a few pictures of their prom night. Let me introduce Reece and Myah.

Aren't they beautiful young people:))) They are just as beautiful inside as they are outside too! Now I will show you a couple pictures from their graduation.

I'll stop bragging now, but I had to share with all of my friends. I am just so proud of them both!

I was watching Mary at Cardz TV and she was making a little photo gift out of an Altoids tin, so I tried to make one. I really wasn't feeling great so I did very little decorating, but it was fun. Totally out of my comfort zone for sure. Anyway I thought I would share it with you all. It's very simple, you guys could do much better, so try one! It makes a cute tuck in gift for any occasion. This one is for a friend to say thanks, and thinking of you. Well here it is.

Try this sometime, all the pages fold into the tin. Then you add pictures and text on the pages, the pages are done on both sides so you get 12 photo mats or 6 photo and 6 journal pages. Cute idea huh!

I also want to thank everyone that follows my blog, you are all so special to me.

Amy I will be writing you to get your address so I can get your prize out to you next week. Congratulations! Amy has been a very loyal follower of mine since I started my blog. When you see me write and thank Amy she is one of those Amy's I am talking about. She is a wonderful crafter and a beautiful friend.

Thank you all for being such inspiring and special people in my life. You will never know how much you all bring to my life on a daily basis.
